Not feeling confident

diego299

We have an OB apt Thurs morning with sono and I am scared that we will be told it's a chemical pregnancy or a missed miscarriage. I have been really hesitant to think this is a real pregnancy since we found out. I don't know if it's bc it happened so easy for us or bc I'm not being monitored like last time or a combo. I know there is really nothing I can do but wait and find out but I have to be able to talk about it. I've mentioned it to DH but I don't want to worry him. I've had some cramping on and off all weekend, the first few were pretty intense but then tappered off in severity. My mind is racing constantly and I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst which is really unlike me bc I'm normally a really positive person.

Sorry I've started to ramble, I just had to get it out. Thanks for reading.

Lots of positive toughts for you! If it makes you feel better, I had some severe cramping at light bleeding just under 6 weeks and it was *just* a SCH. The bleeding stopped after 3 days, but the cramping continued off and on for about a week. I hope it's nothing for you, too! Keep us posted.

Sending you lots of positive thoughts. When I get nervous I feel like the waiting for the appointment is torture. It's so much easier said than done, but try to stay positive and talk to YH...you're in this together a good hug can do wonders.

I understand your concern I think most of us have these same feelings until we see the ultrasound or hear a heartbeat.

I think that with all pregnancies we have to cautiously hold our breath for that 12 week mark.

On a bright note I think the cramping is a good sign...

I had lots of cramping in the beginning of my second two pregnancies, way worse than period cramps so this I assume is a sign of a normal pregnancy.  ( I couldn't stand to have a waist band around my gut it was so bad.)

Thanks for your replies ladies. I just needed to unload and I can't on my real life friends yet. DH is out of town for work for a couple of days and these feelings really hit yesterday.

I'll be thinking of you, hope all goes well.  I had severe cramping for the first month or two and it was nerve racking, but I guess it was normal. Please update us.

Just try to remember that the majority of positive pregnancy tests result in a happy, healthy takehome baby. Good luck at your appointment!

Thinking of you and wishing you well.

Like pps, I had cramping and light spotting in the beginning and had a healthy, "normal" pregnancy.

I've had cramping and bleeding with both of my successful pregnancies. I had SCH's with both kids which caused bleeding early on. Cramping can be a really good sign of your ute stretching out to make room for the baby.

 Good luck and I hope you see a strong, beautiful heartbeat on Thursday!!

I know exactly how you feel, after 2 miscarriages before Layla, and getting pregnant again so quickly after my second (literally 2 weeks after my miscarriage) I was hesitant to believe it was real. I was a paranoid wreck in the weeks leading up to my appointments... I went every 4 weeks, so for the first 2 weeks after my appt i'd be okay, then the next 2 weeks i'd have myself convinced that I'd miscarried... up until I could feel her moving I was like that.  The mantra from the PgAL board "Today I'm pregnant and I love my baby" helped me get through it. I send you happy "prego" dust and hope that everything goes well at your appointment and your fears are squelched soon!! GL!
